THE
BOAT
THAT
ROCKED
- Movie
Soundtrack
While
it's
an expensive
undertaking
to get
the
rights
to use
a range
of well-known
songs
like
these
in a
movie
to reflect
its
time
period,
it does
make
for
a great
excuse
to get
them
all
on a
fat
CD collection!
With
the
exclusion
of Duffy,
this
tremendous
double
disc
collection
(from
the
motion
picture
comedy
soundtrack
of a
pirate
radio
station
out
at sea
in the
1960s)
deliver
three
dozen
magnificent
rock
and
soul
tracks
from
that
era
(plus
a few
other
pop
favourites).
These
are
also
not
arbitrary
as the
theme
of the
movie
compels
its
use.
For
the
rockers
there
are
several
unforgettable
cuts
by The
Kinks,
The
Who,
as well
as The
Turtles.
You
cannot
exclude
Jimi
Hendrix
from
this
time
period,
nor
Cream.
Lighter
rock
sounds
come
form
legends
like
The
Moody
Blues,
Procol
Harum
(naturally
with
Nights
In White
Satin
and
A Whiter
Shade
Of Pale
respectively),
as well
as The
Hollies,
The
Tremeloes,
and
The
Beach
Boys.
The
more
soulful
sounds
come
from
Smokey
Robinson
&
The
Miracles,
The
Supremes,
Martha
&
The
Vandellas,
Otis
Redding,
and
The
Isley
Brothers.
Even
Herb
Alpert's
trademark
brass
gets
a spot,
and
not
to forget
the
timeless
David
Bowie(!).
Dusty
Springfield,
Cat
Stevens,
Jeff
Beck,
The
Troggs,
Paul
Jones,
they're
all
here.
Seeing
the
movie
is not
a necessity
to get
a kick
out
of this
soundtrack,
and
it's
a perfect
collection
for
anyone
who
lived
through
that
era,
or a
great
introduction
to someone
tired
of modern
music's
cannibalistic
traits
of late.
